Those crazy Mormons

Betty · 11-11-2008, 07:49 AM

According to this article, Mormons are babtizing Jews that died in the Holocost post-humously - and really making other Jewish people upset.

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories...11-10-18-41-36

The story of course is that those in the Holocost were persecuted for being Jews and are now being made into Mormons. The idea is that those Mormons related to Jewish Holocost survivors will all be reunited in the afterlife if they are babtized. Of concern is if history will rewrite itself to say that Mormons were killed in the holocost.

It's called a Happy Bubble. The Mormons are in it.

ETA: I wonder how shocked they are that the world is really paying attention to their every move now. L.O.L.

While the practice of posthumous baptism by Mormons is silly, I'd say it is just as silly to be upset about it.

But to put the matter to rest and ease inter-religious stresses I just did a little ceremony here at my desk that makes each passed soul immune to rebaptism unless that soul wishes otherwise. Also, it makes them prettier than they were in their mortal life and just a tad smarter.

Since my little ceremony has all the effect as a Mormon necrobaptism I expect The American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors to name me their man of the year and present me with an attractive plaque I can display on my wall.

Also, and I understand this will upset some people, in the process I mismumbled a word of particular power and killed god. Sorry about that.

Owww! The acronyms, they hurt! (Really, I've tried to keep up, but Jeez-o'-Pete! There's so fvckin' many of them! I can't spend all day at the Urban Dictionary!) WTF is really common, so I know it. But then I encounter WTG, I start thinking "What The God? What The Ginmill? What The Ginger? After a while, I finally see that the WT doesn't stand for "What The" at all - its an acronym for Way To Go. I have a fleeting sense of euphoria. Maybe I can learn this stupid code yet! Then, next sentence - FTW? Fvck The Wealthy? Fix The Waterpipe? (*I looked it up - For The Win. Okay, that's funny. I'm amused and annoyed at the same time.) Then next post down - VAM. I give up!

Sorry to rant about something that most others have no problem with, but damn this stuff makes me feel old and useless.

Oh, and Alex's post? Hilarious!

My apologies, flippyshark.

For the record, I type 4TW, though FTW is probably more common. Since you knew I could/should have typed FTW, I'll just assume you knew all along.

so there...

NEEENNNEEERRR...

Oh, and WTF is VAM?

I love it when the answers come before I can even ask the questions...
